COMBINED SUPPLY, WASTE, AND OVVERFLOW FOR BATH-TUBS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 418,643, dated December 31, 1889.

Application filed March 25, 1889. Serial No. 304,625. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, AUGUST I-IAARLANDEE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Pittsburg, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Combined Supply, Vaste, and Overliow for Bath- Tubs; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawings, which form part of this specification. My invention has relation' to certain improvements in combined overflow, supply, and waste for bath tubs, basins, &c.; and it consists in the novel construction and combination of parts hereinafter described and claimed, special reference being had to, first, the novel means for securing the parts together constituting the supply and waste by means of a single hollow or tubular bolt which servesas the supply-pipe; second, the supply-tube provided with a perforated web which seats in a suitable recess in the bottom of the tub serving as a waste-strainer and in connection with a nut on the bottom of the threaded supply-tube as means for holding the parts together; third, certain structural details and features hereinafter speciiically set forth, the whole forming a supply, waste, and overflow of a substantial of Eig. 1.

shown, has screwed thereon the anged cap or disk D, which prevents the upward discharge of the water flowing horizontally through the small openings z' z of the pipe E. The lower half of the supply-pipe Eis also threaded and the lower end coupled to a T- joint, to the lateral branches of which the hot' and cold water pipes are respectively joined, bringing hot and cold water to the same point of discharge. The"waste box or casing K is formed with a liange K2, which abuts against the bottom of the tub and has a flat base, against which seats the nut G, screwed on the tube E.. This nut, in conjunction with the web I, firmly binds the parts together, rubber gaskets b b being placed above the casing K and above the nut G to produce water-tight joints. and is formed with an outlet branch K', leading toward the stand-pipe M, towhich it is coupled by a suitable union M. Inside of the stand-pipe is the overliow tube or valve N, of the usual form and arrangement. The outlet branch K slopes or inclines downwardly toward the stand-pipe and is enlarged in its vertical diameter in the same direction, so as to obtain ample discharge capacity. Between the side walls of the branch K at its junction with the casing K a vertical web vent the breaking of the fiat surface of the waste and branch by the powerful strain of the nut E. The supply and Waste may be operated separately or simultaneously, as when cleaning the tub.

Having described my invention, what' I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s

1. In combination with the bath tub or basin A, having the flanged socket b, the combined waste and overliow comprising the and formed with a central oriiice in its base, the threaded supply-pipe E, having perforationst'- for the passage of the supply, and the perforated web I, seating in the hanged socket I', and the nut G, secured upon the pipe E and abutting against the base of the casing supply-pipe in position, substantially as described.

waste-casing K, having the outlet branch K Y The waste K is a casting,

O is formed to strengthen the parts and pre- K, said web and nut `serving to secure said 2. The Waste-casing K, Cast with the outlet branch K and the Vertical strengtheningweb O, in combination with the threaded supply-tube E, passing through the casing K, the

5 web I, formed on 01' secured to said supplytube, and the nut G, secured on said tube below the casing, substantially as described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this 14th day of March, 1889.

AUGUST HAARLANDER.
